Here is a simple way that avoids any programming and does
not involve messing with the registry directly.
The basic idea is to create a short cut to the desired
website on your desktop. And then move that shortcut into
the start menu. Here are the steps.
Right click on your desktop.
Select "New".
Select "Shrtcut"
Type in the web URL. eg: http://www.interactivebrokers.com
click on the "next>" button on the bottom right.
Give a new name to the short cut. eg "IB" or
"InteractiveBrokers".
click on "Finish"
That will put the new short cut on your desktop.
To move the shortcut to the start menu,
Left click and drag the short cut icon (holding the left
button down as one drags). Drag it on top of the "Start"
button. Do not release the mouse button.
Wait a moment and the start menu will appear.
Drag the icon to where you want it in the start list and
release.
That should do it.
I have done the above on Windows XP. It may or may not work
with other versions of Windows.
